Project Title/Scenario: DANGEROUS DECIBELS; students will study the properties of waves and then hone the focus to sound waves. They will collect data and record decibel readings for common sounds around us and determine whether any of the vibrations they hear are unsafe. Their project will be to create a glog poster PSA educating their peers on the harmful effects of loud noises.
CFQ's || What does it take to the change the world? || || When are waves “good” vibrations? || || What is matter? How are waves created? How do waves travel? (Describe differences) How do sound waves compare to other types of waves? How is sound measured? What are decibels? ||
